This must be short because I woke up 2390487235 hours ago and spent basically all day in a car with a dog wriggling all over me BUT: I listened to Evelyn Evelyn (by Evelyn Evelyn) for the first time and since then I have been unable to listen to anything else because it is SO GOOD. I. Love. Amanda. Palmer. And Jason Webley is probably excellent, since he's involved in this, which is fucking RAD. I'm in no fit state to be eloquent but for now I'll just say that it is theatrical to the max and fucking beautiful. So tragic! So haunting! Awesome! Current favourites include Evelyn Evelyn, You Only Want Me 'Cause You Want My Sister (my FAVE), My Space, and the Love Will Tear Us Apart cover which, in my extremely overexcited opinion, is the best rendition of the song that I have ever heard. (I am not really a Joy Division fan. I heard the song too many times in dingy indie clubs in Bristol full of gropey misogynists pretending their pretensions to meaning meant their actions were fine. Well, that and their penises. ANYWAY.) I am extremely pleased. I AM ALSO SEEING THEM NEXT MONTH. Wowzers in my trow-zers. I can't *wait* until I'm back in Leeds to enjoy the (hopefully delivered) presale package that entitled me to these mp3s a week early.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I listened to Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn last night and it's so good! (that's the only song on spotify)....
